Anyone else hearing the rumor that Coach Shaw wants Rex Ryan to join his staff?

That would be weird. There are maybe 4 teams in the NFL with DCs who aren't obviously better than Rex, leaving a ton where he'd be an upgrade (subtract a few for personality or system differences). It seems likely he'd have his pick of NFL DC jobs, maybe even a shot at one of the HC ones. What would we have to offer? We'd pay him less and it'd be a brobdingnagian step down in prestige. Plus we already have a DC who did a pretty darn good job this year, and who we probably don't want to alienate by bringing in an outside guy. It just doesn't make sense for Shaw to want Ryan OR to think Ryan would take the job.
